Around the Curve by Polly Jones

Happy Monday to you! I'm sharing a couple of paintings done on my trip to Italy this summer. These scenes were from photos taken out of the window of the train with my Iphone. I can't remember exactly where, but I think it was on the way from Florence to Rome. I've listed the 8" by 10" one on the bottom in my Etsy store here.

Meanwhile I've been at work on a pesky, wayward flower painting. Hopefully I will resolve it soon and show it to you.

But what happens when we live God's way? He brings gifts into our lives, much the same way that fruit appears in an orchard—things like affection for others, exuberance about life, serenity. We develop a willingness to stick with things, a sense of compassion in the heart, and a conviction that a basic holiness permeates things and people. We find ourselves involved in loyal commitments, not needing to force our way in life, able to marshal and direct our energies wisely. Galatians 5: 22-23
